Task-Driven Information Presentation

In the context of innovative Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) platform capabilities, we are building an environment that can support the generation of information tailored to the operator’s tasks. To this end, we propose a task-based interaction environment that delivers tailored multimedia information based on the analysis and the recognition of the operator’s activity. This aims at supporting the operators and maximising their efficiency by automatically providing them with information relevant to their tasks. The work is being conducted under a program that aims to enhance research and development capabilities in Australia that align with the Commonwealth’s areas of interest in AEW&C.
